One of the most hotly anticipated things about the upcoming
Avengers: Infinity War is the Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers finally interacting, and while it was confirmed in the first trailer that Thor will indeed be bumping into the Guardians; Thanks to
Entertainment Weekly's set-report, we now know that the spacefaring family will absolutely be coming into contact with more Avengers. During the climactic Battle of Wakanda at that.
They teased a scene, between Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes and Sean Gunn's Rocket Raccoon, which many
Guardians of the Galaxy fans will get a kick out of as it calls back to a running gag from the first film. Here's how it went down according to EW:
Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, the former Winter Soldier now known to his Wakandan friends as “White Wolf,” is laying waste to Outriders while Rocket — in the form of Sean Gunn, wielding a puppet stand-in — distracts him with some offers he can easily refuse.
“How much for the gun?” the furry dealmaker asks, admiring the firepower clutched by Bucky’s mechanical limb.
“It’s not for sale.”
“Okay, how much for the arm? The arm?” Rocket persists. (He has a weird thing about prosthetics.)
This is likely just a taste of the many fun interactions we've been anticipating since the first Guardians of the Galaxy film's success back in 2014. And also serves as confirmation that the first Avengers: Infinity War trailer's climactic shot of many heroes runnning toward camera was holding back on how many people will actually be present; Now we know that the Guardians will in-fact be involved in the Battle of Wakanda.
What do you think about the fun callback to the two Guardians of the Galaxy films? As well as the revelation the Guardians are present during Avengers: Infinity War's finale?
